Fell in love with this place. Tucked away on the backstreets of the Melbourne CBD it was unique from the word go. We were warmly greeted and seated very quickly. The staff are very stylish, however there is no arrogance or intimidation. The food was simple and tasty and the coffee well done. The barbershop and Gentlemans outfitters looked pretty sweet. All in all a fresh breath of style that we all enjoyed...
Sweet upper floor getaway from foot traffic. Plus you can get a shave, haircut out tailored shoes made.
Double ristretto piccolo was spot on. I've had a magic before and it was too.
Ambience - cool, not over bearing. They're stylish, but heck, they're cobblers, designers and hairdressers...
